COMBINED HOT-WATER BAG AND SYFHNGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 9, 1906.

Application filed June 25, 1904. Serial No. 214.138.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARGARET VAN TAS- snn-Bnorc, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Hot-Tater Bag and Syringe, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved combined hot-water bag and syringe, and comprises a hot-water bag, flexible tubes for attachment to opposite ends thereof and respectively provided with a connection for a faucet, and a discharge-head, whereby a circulation directly from the faucet through the bag and the discharge-head may be obtained and the force of the head of water from the faucet, as well as the weight of water in the bag, utilized, and stoppers for substitution for the said flexible tubes to close the openings at the ends of the bag and enable the latter to be used for the purpose of a hot-water bag, as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view, partly in section, of my improved combined hotvater bag and syringe, showing the sup ly-tube and dischargetube detachably coup ed to the bag. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of a modified form of discharge-tube, and Figs. 3 and 4 are similar views of the stoppers.

The bag or receptacle 1 is made of rubber or other suitable material and may be of any suitable size and shape. At its upper end it is formed with a funnel 2 and a supply-opening 3, the latter being here shown as screwthreaded. A loop 4 is attached to one side of the funnel to enable the bag to be hung from a hook or other supporting device. At the lower end of the bag is a discharge-opening 5, which is also screw-threaded. Stoppers 6 and 7 are provided for the respective openings 3 and 5 of the bag and may be screwed thereinto and removed therefrom.

The supply-tube 8 has a coupling member 9 at one end for attachment to and removal from the supply-opening 3 of the bag and is provided at the other end with a connection 10 for attachment to a faucet. Said connection, as here shown, comprises a funnel 1 1, having a diaphragm 15 at its larger end, forming a closure therefor and provided with a central opening 16 for the reception of the faucet. The discharge-tube 11 has at one end a coupling member 12 for attachment to and removal from the discharge-opening 5 of the bag and has at the opposite end a spraying-head 12. Thus arranged the device may be used as a pressure-syringe or for showering.

The modified form of discharge tube shown in Fig. 2 and provided with the syringe-head 13 may be substituted for the discharge. tube 11. been removed, the device may then be used as a fountain-syringe.

Then the device is to be used as a hot-water bag, both the supply and discharge tubes will be disconnected and the stoppers 3 and 5 applied.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the inven tion will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, the convertible hot-water bag, syringe and spray herein described, comprising a hot water bag, flexible tubes for attachment to opposite ends thereof and respectively provided with a connection for a faucet, and a discharge-head, whereby a circulation directly from the faucet through the bag and the discharge-head may be obtained, and the force of the head of water from the faucet, as well as the weight of water in the bag utilized, and stoppers for substitution for the said flexible tubes, to close the openings at the ends of the bag and enable the latter to be used for the purpose of a hot-water bag.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
